John Ross Storey searches out small family vineyards throughout California with the goal of making unique wines with a sense of place representing the true vineyard identity. Along with this vision he believes that oak should only be used to enhance a wine, not mask the beautiful fruit flavors produced by the quality vineyards he works with. These lightly-oaked wines are a hallmark of his new wine making venture.

| John Ross Storey’s dream of having his own winery was finally brought to fruition when he accepted a "buyout" from his day job as a photojournalist with the San Francisco Chronicle in the fall of 2005. Having been a founding partner and co-winemaker in the successful Eric Ross Winery since its inception in 1994, John is not new to producing quality wine. |
